A Personal Note from Dudley Brown

I am personally contacting you today to let you know how you can help retire one of Colorados gun -grabbers.

A large, grassroots effort to recall State Senator Evie Hudak is now underway. Democrat SenatorHudak is one of Colorados leaders for gun control.

With your help, we can remove her from office.In case you need a reminder of just how anti-gun Senator Hudak really is, keep this in mind:


4/14

4

She voted for every piece of anti-gun legislation she has had the opportunity to vote for. She co-sponsored HB-1228, the tax on all new gun purchases, and HB-1229, which

criminalizes all private transfers of firearms. She helped drive Magpul and other firearms specialty companies out of Colorado. Perhaps most memorably, she had the audacity to badger a rape victim during a committee

hearing, lecturing her that a gun wouldnt have helped her because statistics are not on yourside.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl0MS7Z-Sjc

President Obama and billionaire Mayor Mike Bloomberg are making Colorado ground zero in the fightfor gun control.

Recalling gun-grabbing Senator Hudak will send a message to Obama, Bloomberg, and all politiciansthat patriotic Americans will not tolerate those who seek to undermine our 2nd Amendment rights.

However, we cant get this done without your help. The recall effort needs volunteer help andsignatures to get the job done.

First, the recall effort needs signatures of registered voters in Westminster and Arvada. If you are aregistered voter in Hudaks district, please make sure you sign the petition.

You can find locations atwww.RecallHudak.orgor at theRecall Hudak Facebook group.

Second, the Hudak recall effort also needs volunteers to canvas neighborhoods and public areas toobtain petition signatures. Volunteer turnout is critical to the success of this effort. You can volunteeratwww.RecallHudak.org. NOTE: You don't have to reside in Hudak's district to volunteer.

The recall effort is large, well organized and carried out entirely by unpaid volunteers. Whether youcan contribute an hour, a day or a week of your time, recall organizers would like to hear from you.

Remember, we cant get this done without the help of gun rights supporters like you.

For Freedom,

Dudley Brown

How to Get Involved in Local Politics

Sometimes it's hard to imagine one person making a difference in this world. A lot of challenges face oursociety. Some are huge, some are more manageable, but all require the action of at least one person

Start making the world a better place by being that person on the local level. Get involved in locapolitics and see the world change before your eyes.

o 1 Participate in town meetings. Mingle with local, state and federal politicians.Learn about the issuesfacing your community. Meet others who support the same causes you do. Voice your opinion and see

what offices in politics appeal to you.

o 2 Show your support of the political system by voting in every election. More importantly, bring others tothe polls with you. Talk about the issues with people and inspire them to let their opinions be heardthrough theirvotes .

o 3 Help out at a local political office. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican, Democrat or a member ofthe Green Party, all political parties need volunteers. Work one on one with them and learn the politicalprocess. Network with others involved in local politics. Get in on the ground floor and learn the ropes.Look into volunteering for organizations who promote causes like the environment, health care, campaign

finance orimmigration reform .o 4 Start your own political organization. Whether it's a local off-shoot of a nationwide campaign or it's

specific to a cause no one has addressed politically, get it going. Involve your friends and family. Haverallies, fundraisers, seminars or even a bowling night. The idea is to spread your passion for the cause andget others to join you.

o 5 Start a petition on the Internet. Instead of knocking on doors or stopping people at the mall, get peopleinvolved with an online petition. Involve yourself in online political blogs. Post your opinions and getothers to join in with you.

o 6Put yourself out there and run for local office. Civic offices come up for re-election all the time. Find aposition you know you could excel in and start your campaign. Call your local political party and ask ifthere are offices up for election. Take to the streets and let people know you are the person for the job.

o 1 Have a validvoter registration card and if you dont have one, get one. If you feel strongly about thisparty and their beliefs, register as a Republican. However you dont have to register as a Republican if youdon't want to. You can register as an NPA, (no party affiliation) as an Independent or even a Democrat.

o 2 Do as much research as possible on the Republican Party. Make sure that the issues the partyrepresents are issues that you believe in and that the candidates representing the party are people youhold in high regard.

o 3 You may wish to support a particular candidate for local government, or state government or you maywant to support Republican candidates for theU.S. Senate , or Congress and perhaps even the RepublicanPartys presidential candidate. Once you have figured out at what level you wish to participate, contact theappropriate party office and ask how you can get more involved.

o 4 When you contact the appropriate party office, make sure you have a plan for how you want to beinvolved in the Republican Party. Your involvement could be as simple as making a donation, or you could

volunteer your time by handing out literature or manning a phone at a call center. Most people involved inthe Republican Party are volunteers. You may wish to become some sort of aid or spokesperson for aparticular candidate as well, but these positions are usually staffed by people close to the candidate. Thesepositions usually require some sort ofeducation in politics, law or the media.

o 5 Joining a Republican state party might be just the ticket for you. You can volunteer to answer phones,pass out literature, or something as simple as making a donation. This is all that is required to join yourstate's Republican party. Also, your Republican state party will deal with issues in your state that may becloser to your areas of interest.

o 6Join the Republican National Committee. You can go right to their website and enter in yourinformation (see Resources). Tell them a little bit about yourself and what you would like to do for theirorganization. You may want to become a volunteer or even take a job with the Republican NationalCommittee.
